Special Guest:
Dr. Christian Coachman
This KE Event is special because we're honored to welcome Dr. Christian Coachman, founder of Digital Smile Design (DSD) and one of the most influential voices in modern dentistry, as our special guest at the KE Event.
Christian is a true visionary. He’s the mind behind concepts that have changed the way we practice Digital Smile Design, Emotional Dentistry. Dr. Coachman has been one of Karla’s biggest inspirations and they've gone from lecturing together to working side-by-side on real cases. And they’re ready to share it all!
This is your chance to learn smile design principles directly from a master and see the magic that happens when vision, technology, emotion and true camaraderie come together in one room.

Why Bringing Your Team is Key to Success
01
Shared Vision, Seamless Implementation
As a dentist, learning new techniques is only half the battle. The real challenge comes with implementing these techniques in your practice.
By bringing your dental assistants and team members along, they experience first-hand the same insights and tools you're learning, making it easier to introduce these changes back home.

02
From Isolation to Team Collaboration
When you attend an event solo, you might come home inspired, but it’s easy to feel like you’re on an island when your team hasn’t shared the experience. Bringing your team shifts the dynamic.
They will return with the same excitement and understanding, ready to help integrate what they’ve learned into your day-to-day operations.

03
Delegation and Empowerment
Successful digital dentistry requires more than just knowledge—it needs proper delegation. Your team should be confident in handling tasks like patient photography, video documentation, and creating presentations.
When they attend the event, they'll gain hands-on experience and understand why these tasks are important, making it easier for you to delegate and trust that the work is done well.

04
Emotional Investment in Patient Care
When your team connects emotionally to the digital dentistry process, it’s a game-changer.
This kind of emotional investment translates into more motivated, engaged team members who believe in the work you’re doing and want to help elevate your practice to the next level.
